The Biggest Loser 4 Episode 10

The Biggest Loser 4 Episode 9 saw yet another reshuffling, this time into duos. Despite her initial fear of being partnered with Amy, Kae narrowly escaped the chopping block. It came down to a vote between Isabeau and Ryan, and Ryan was sent packing.

The whole duo thing didn’t last very long. We’re now down to every player for themselves.

Bob gets upset at Neil’s vote against Ryan, despite the fact that he says he discussed the plan with Ryan.

Amy completes throwing Kim away, trading in her red shirt for a black one. Kim expresses her disappointment and asks Amy to keep the shirt, but she’s not interested.

Donuts, donuts, and more donuts. It’s a temptation. Inside one of the donuts is a token worth $5,000. I was initially thinking this wouldn’t be worth it, but they only have to eat one donut per round, with each round lasting a minute and allowing them to search through as many as they can. As with the Reese’s, Amy’s a little too happy to see this food. Also as with last time, Kae passes up the opportunity. I think she’s a little too hardcore at this dieting thing, but the rest of these people should take notes, as this is why she keeps blowing them out of the water. Nicole sits out of the second round. Round three has no time limit. Julie drops out regardless because she’s met her calories. Isabeau came within inches of finding the token but missed it, leaving a door open for Bill to win the money, to go along with the SUV he won last week.

The challenge is a 24k (15 miles) triathlon. The first 6 to bike 20k on the stationary bikes will move onto treadmills, where the first three to run 3k will move to the pool, where the first person to swim 1k wins. The prize is a 24 hour trip home. In addition, because they will be home for a full day, the winner will receive immunity, a particularly big deal for targets like the guys and Kae. Lastly, the winner will make a big decision, which won’t be revealed until after the challenge.

Kae’s first to both 5k and 10k. Isabeau’s pretty well out of it, while Amy, Neil, Julie and Bryan fight for the last two spots behind Hollie, Nicole, and Bill. With 3k left, Nicole starts to give Kae a run for her money. Bill and Hollie are still close behind. Isabeau, Julie, and Amy are now out of it, leaving Neil and Bryan looking in good shape to take the final two slots. Kae finishes first. Nicole is second. Bill is third. Hollie is fourth. Bryan is fifth. Neil takes sixth. Julie at 18k and Amy and Isabeau at 17k are eliminated.

Kae is first to hit .5k on the treadmill. She retains the lead throughout, hitting 2.5k first as well. Bill and Hollie are the second and third to hit 2.5k, but Bryan is close behind them. Kae finishes first. Bill finishes second. Hollie finishes third, inching out Bryan, and she’s confident in her swimming ability because she’s a swim coach. Nicole, Bryan, and Neil are eliminated at the 2.5k mark.

Kae, Bill, and Hollie move to the pool, where they will swim 40 lengths. It’s pretty obvious what’s going to happen here. Kae’s dominance in the first two events will be completely meaningless, as Hollie who barely made it through will win due to her swimming experience. Poorly designed competition, particularly bad considering how high the stakes are. Hollie wins, Bill comes in second with 30 laps, Kae finishes third with 26 laps.

In addition to the rewards, Hollie must now pick another person to give the reward to as well. Again pretty obvious what will happen. Perhaps not exactly who, but it’ll be a black team member, one of the girls, meaning Isabeau or Julie. She chooses Julie. Considering Bill did so well in the challenge, whereas Julie dropped out right away, I’d think it would have made more sense to choose him, not only picking a teammate but also reducing the ability for people to be upset that she’s playing favorites. They’re left with a warning: if they’ve gained weight at the next weigh-in, they will no longer have immunity.

Hollie goes home to see her best friend, who says she’s inspired her to start losing weight as well. Julie goes home to see her son and husband, who himself has started to lose weight, now down 28 pounds. Both women have to cope with food choices in the real world. Julie chooses to do the Subway commercial, which actually if you have to eat fast food is the best alternative, though they do have plenty of menu items that aren’t so healthy. Hollie has a salad with dressing on the side but also gets pizza, which is a bad choice even without cheese, though as she said it’s not bad once in a while. Then it’s time to exercise. Julie wears her husband out on the beach. Hollie takes her friend to the gym.

When Jillian walks in the room, Amy’s crying. Still.

Julie: 180 pounds (no change)
Hollie: 212 pounds (no change)

Julie takes the lack of change as an indication she has a lot to learn. Her worst week previously was a 2 pound loss in week 2. Hollie’s previous worst performance was also a 2 pound loss. I don’t think either of them should have immunity still. With no change, the cards should fall where they may, particularly since both should lose a lot of weight next week.

Bill: 234 pounds (-8, 3.31%)

Bill becomes the second person this season to lose 100 pounds.

Nicole: 222 pounds (-7, 3.06%)
Neil: 311 pounds (-10, 3.12%)
Amy: 242 pounds (-3, 1.22%)
Isabeau: 241 pounds (-5, 2.03%)
Bryan: 276 pounds (-2, 0.72%)
Kae: 159 pounds (-4, 2.45%)

So it comes down to Amy and Bryan. Isabeau raises a concern that Amy’s complaining too much about wanting to go home as she has from day one. Isabeau says she thinks Amy’s a threat, to which Jillian responds, “Are you kidding?” Bill weighs in as well. Comparing the weight losses, he says Amy is beating Bryan (not exactly true, but Bryan is indeed down there close to Amy toward the bottom of the weight loss percentages). He says his vote doesn’t matter anyway because Isabeau’s already voting for Amy. Neil, without having the issue of whether he’s black team or not, says Amy deserves to go home.

Votes
Nicole: Amy
Kae: Amy
Neil: Amy
Julie: Bryan
Hollie: Bryan
Bill: Bryan
Isabeau: Amy

I’m quite surprised by this move, but I’m all for it. As big a fan as I am of gameplay on shows like this, Amy got to an enough is enough stage of this competition quite some time ago. Unlike the classy exit speeches we’ve come to expect, Amy says karma’s a bitch and that the black team can’t trust Isabeau. Get off my screen already. This was at least a chance to redeem herself for all the complaining she’s done under both Kim and Jillian, but she couldn’t even get this part right. Today, Amy is down 100 pounds to 197 from her original weight of 297.

Reaper Episode 8

Sam and Andi continued to pretend to be “just friends” in Reaper episode 7. They’re probably gonna make him wait all season before he gets the girl.

Gladys comes to The Work Bench. Sock’s got questions and is “almost certainly going to do something stupid.” She’s less happy to see him than he is to see her. In the back of her car is what appears to be a body bag. She goes to run him over, he jumps out of the way… and gets hit by someone else not even trying to hit him.

Sam gets the dog of the month award from Ted, meaning he’s shown an utter lack of everything. Sock’s offended because he wanted to be dog of the month again. But Sam is the Devil’s employee of the month. He gets a watch as a reward. What’s the catch? He also gives him the case file for the next escaped soul, Curtis Dean Mays, a multiple murderer. Now Sam’s wondering what the catch is, too. He does stick him with getting the bill, but there’s gotta be more evil afoot than that.

Sock and Ben spy on Gladys’ shopping history and find out she’s been buying some rat poisoning. Sam says that’ll have to wait until they figure out where the killer is. It doesn’t make any sense yet, but Sam’s got a bird tattoo that he didn’t have before. They decide to go to the courthouse, where Sam sees another tattoo, a 6. He also shows the boys the gift he got for Andi, a necklace with a diamond in it, but they tell him that it’s a wife present, not a friend present. They convince him to get her something else, then they head upstairs to look for clues. If only they’d turn around, they would see that Curtis has walked in behind them.

They pretend they’re writing a book about true crimes and go to ask someone who works at the courthouse and says Curtis never used the same weapon twice and blamed everybody but himself, including his own now dead defense attorney. While they’re chatting, Judge Collins is killed by Curtis with barbed wire. They suspect the prosecutor is the next target. They finally get a vessel that doesn’t suck, a taser. Sock and Ben are still more interested in stalking Gladys than helping with Curtis, though.

Andi’s boyfriend Greg asks Sam for his help surprising Andi with a huge party at a club. Sam warns him she doesn’t want that, but he agrees to help. Then he gets another tattoo, a 1.

A bunch of kids go up to Gladys’ house and toss eggs at it. She runs out with a broom and chases them off her lawn. So apparently she’s this neighborhood’s mean old lady who all the kids are afraid of. She threatens to cook their brains, which I’m assuming is just a figure of speech.

Sam uses his taser. Too bad he used it on a cop, detective Dan Stafford, who looks nothing like Curtis. As he’s getting arrested, Dan sees his watch, so he takes the watch and leaves. He’s got the vessel as well.

Everybody meets up at the bar, where Andi reminds Sam she doesn’t want a surprise party. He’s afraid to deny it, smoothly running away saying Sock’s on fire. Andi takes this as a yes, and she gets upset at Greg, who she says hardly qualifies as her boyfriend. Josie says the person she’s describing for her boyfriend is somebody like Sam, and Andi again plays the friend card.

Sock and Ben return to Gladys’ place, this time when she’s at work. They find out she’s into angel figurines and flowers. Then she shows up and finds out someone’s been in her home, so she comes in swinging with a shovel. The way she goes crazy just makes the neighborhood, all of whom are watching the scene, even more convinced she’s mean.

Dan probably recognized the watch, which belonged to Curtis’ defense attorney. Sam’s afraid this will link him to the murder. Then the Devil’s kind enough to point out that Sam was also on the scene of the judge’s murder. To make him feel better, the Devil offers Sam the opportunity to “go all Barry Bonds on my ass” and gives him a baseball bat to hit him with. Sam’s more than happy to hit him again and again. When he gets back to work, Sam’s informed by Ted that the police showed up and searched his locker.

Sock, who claims he was 6 feet tall at age 7, starts to get sympathetic for Gladys, who he believes was once an angel and now is frustrated with little kids picking on her all day.

Greg’s got a new plan. He doesn’t want to throw Andi a surprise party on her birthday. Instead, he wants to blow it off, then throw the stupid party the next day. Sam tells Greg his idea is stupid, and Greg gets suspicious that Sam’s trying to sabotage their relationship, when in reality he’s doing a great job of sabotaging it on his own. Then they get into a chick fight.

Sock and Sam go to see the detective, where Sock pretends to be an attorney. Unsuccessfully. Dan threatens to beat his face with a phone book, getting him to leave the room. After all but accusing him of the murders, the detective spots some blood on Sam’s hand. Sam responds “That’s not my blood.” It’s just Greg’s blood from when he slapped him in the face, but still, not a good response. Then Sam starts asking the Devil for help and admits he’s talking to him. Dan spots Sam’s tattoo, which is now complete to spell out 613 Cardinal Drive, Dan’s address. Rather than locking him up, the detective seems to believe Sam’s story, so they go to check out his house. Sam asks for his taser back and tells him Mays is back.

Sock goes to see Gladys and apologizes for not considering her feelings. He goes into her house for coffee and cookies. She eventually tells him she wants to kiss him, and he’s fine with this. They start to kiss and get undressed. Then he wakes up from his nightmare.

Sam finally convinces Dan to get his taser. They go out to the car to get it, when a fireball comes flying at it. Like the barbed wire, Mays has a fire tattoo, as he’s drawing all his weapons off his body. Sam knows bullets won’t do anything, but he shoots Curtis with a shotgun. It’s enough of a distraction to prevent him from killing Dan and buys him the time he needs to get the taser from the burning car. Sam takes Dan into the house and calls 911 to get him some assistance. Before he can get through, though, Dan pulls a gun on him. Catching an escaped soul won’t work. He’ll need to catch an actual person to get credit for this, meaning Sam.

He tries to shoot Sam but can’t. Instead, the gun is turned around, and he shoots himself. Thanks to the Devil. With the combination of the defense lawyer’s watch and written confession upstairs, it should be pretty slam dunk that Dan gets blamed for being a copycat killer. It seems Dan, too, made a deal with the Devil. Catching himself was the fifth and final case in exchange for his soul.

Sam apologizes to Andi for hitting Greg, when she stops him and tells him they broke up… then she asks him “You punched Greg in the nose?” She jokes that she should have waited for her present first before breaking up, so Sam gives her the present he originally planned to give her. She cries and says she can’t accept the gift because it’s not a friend gift. He suggests not wearing it as a friend, but he’s too important to her for her to want to risk it.

When they go to the DMV to turn in the vessel, Gladys asks Sock whether he’s had any good dreams lately. This time, Gladys also has something to give Sam, a gift from the Devil. He doesn’t want to open it but Sock insists. It’s a get out of Hell free card. Whether it’s real or not, Sam’s keeping it.

Beauty and the Geek 4 Episode 9

In Beauty and the Geek 4 Episode 8, Jen and William continued their bickering, as it became more obvious they were never going to not hate each other. I’m so over both of them at this point. In a (lame) twist, John and Natalie were sent packing without even being given the chance to defend themselves in the elimination room.

William discusses the money and wanting to win. The only problem with him actually caring about winning is that Hell has not yet frozen over.

The beauties will study animals and insects. The geeks will study how to be a flare bartender. Sam’s upset that he’s not the bartender. Jasmine hates bugs. While studying with Shay, they freak out over a bug flying around them.

Beauties are up first. Roaches, giant millipedes, snakes, toads, grubs, spiders, and scorpions are revealed. Jasmine, who hates all bugs, and Shay, who’s afraid of spiders, go crazy before the challenge even begins. They must put the animals in the terrarium matching their scientific names. Mike reveals they must do this without any protective gear, not even gloves, and that the animals might nip at them a bit. The girls are completely grossed out. Sam seems unconcerned. Gee, what a surprise, another challenge that unfairly favors Sam. Jasmine runs away from Shay just walking past her with the snake, let alone actually being able to pick one up herself. Shay’s performing very well despite her fear. Jasmine is hopeless and takes 8 minutes just to pick up a toad. Sam has no clue what he’s doing, but he’s touched a lot grosser things and is having no problems filling the cages with what may or may not be the correct animals, which is messing with the girls because they’re scared he’s beating them easily. Jen’s strategy is to let the animals pick their own cases.

Sam – 7 of 7, with 5 correct
Shay – 7 of 7, with 1 correct
Jen – 5 of 7, with 1 correct
Jasmine – 3 of 7, with 0 correct

Following the challenge, Jasmine, who I’d argue did the best regardless of what the results may have been, continues to be upset when they get back to the mansion. David’s there to support her, and they make brownies together.

Jen wants William to dress better for the challenge, but he resists her attempts to help. Sam, meanwhile, is turned off by William’s cockiness as he performs. Joshua, however, takes Shay’s advice, including hairspray and tanning spray. Jasmine dresses Dave up but says she’s not a good drink critic because she’ll drink anything.

The geeks will be judged on bartending style and flare. And actually being able to make a drink may count for something. Joshua makes a big mess. Nicole does the same trick over and over again. William tries not to scare people but does well otherwise. David’s entertaining, which combined with his confidence is enough for the win. William’s upset that Dave won based on his personality, which is probably true.

Shay gets emotional because of how surprisingly close she’s gotten to Joshua. William and Jen still hate each other, but she says she’d stop someone if she saw them kicking him on the ground. Progress. When they get into the elimination room, Shay and Joshua hug, while William and Jen can only muster a handshake.

Jen gets her first question right, as does Shay. Jen gets her second question right, as does Shay. William gets his first question right, but Joshua misses his. William gets his second question right, eliminating Joshua and Shay. The old married couple is finally gone, but she’s already making plans to go to him and tell him how to dress.

CSI: NY Season 4, Episode 8 – “Buzzkill”

Last week, the CSI team uncovered two cases in major NY tourist spots – at the Madison Square Park and at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Both crimes clearly want to send a message. This week, the team faces a robbery and a woman electrocuted in a rooftop party.

On the other hand, Stella agrees for a “drink” with Drew, but she ends up having a dinner date in a rooftop in New York. However, Stella feels that all his gifts and style is way too aggressive for her. She then walks out to go to a crime scene.

Flack and Stella examines the crime scene and finds Jenna Donovan’s body in a giant martini bowl, electrocuted to death. The team finds several tennis balls in the scene and Lindsay sees indentation marks on the surface wall. She measures the impact of the marks to find the origin while Flack and Stella interviews the management of the ad agency that organized the rooftop party. They talked to Lia and Damien, who says it might be their competitors looking to get their billboard spot. Dr. Hammerback investigates Jenna’s body.

In the meantime, Danny is in an ambulance with a robbery victim named Brandi and her boy friend, Paul Larkin. Mac, Hawkes and Detective Angell examines the robbery crime scene, with another dead man.

Lindsay finds the origin of the tennis balls as Stella and Flack finds the room filled with tennis balls. They arrest a man named Nick Conway and he admits targeting the party because he is a recovering alcoholic and he just wants the party to stop.

Hawke’s investigates Brandi’s clothes and from there, Mac suggests that the bullet shots from the dead victim and Brandi’s did not match. As the lab results showed Brandi had DNA semen that matched the shooter, they discovered that she was the inside contact and that the robber double-crossed her.

Back at the lab, Dr. Hammerback tells Stella that the tennis ball shooter was not Jenna Donovan’s killer. Since the vic did not die due to electrocution, Lindsay examines Jenna’s bag and its contents. Inside was plenty of money, tons of lollipops and cotton balls. Stella gets a piece from the lollipop to see it was heroine and discovers that the purse handle is the exact match to the bruise on Jenna’s shoulders.

Mac visits Brandi at the hospital. When her boyfriend Paul talked to her, her heart collapses and the doctor hesitated on reviving her. The doctor then whispers to Mac that he needs his help. They talked privately and Dr. Moore tells Mac that his brother Charles was kidnapped and in return, the kidnappers want him to let the witness die. As it turns out, Paul Larkin was not Brandi’s boyfriend. The team examines the camera outside the bank.

Lindsay finds the symbol “91x” from a grain of rice that is part of a kanji ring. 91x, which means magic, is the chemical resulted when phetonel (a chemo drug) and heroine is combined. This information led to Donovan’s killer, Pattie Larkin, who was the maker of the kanji rings. However, Dr. Hammerback says the killer is not Pattie because the vic’s stomach contents included a marine chemicals only available in salt water. Lindsay and Stella reexamines the crime scene to get samples from the large martini glass.

As it turns out, Paul Larkin’s name was Paul Campbell. Mac and Hawkes traced down where Paul worked and was able to get fingerprints from the gloves. They went to his apartment only to discover a courier box where the robbers must have placed the money. Det. Angell calls the phone of Dr. Moore’s brother only to find out that the celphone was in the apartment.

Back at the lab, Lindsay and Stella finds the murder weapon – a poisonous jellyfish that only survives in sea water. It was placed inside a beach ball and the only ones to have access was Lia and Damien. They interrogated the two and discovered that Lia handed the beach ball to Damien because HE was the target, instead of Jenna. As it turns out, she wanted him dead because the large martini glass and billboard party was her idea and Damien stole it and pitched the idea to the boss.

On the other hand, Danny finds a piece of paper that had a trace of an address. This led Mac and the team to an apartment where Paul Campbell, another suspect and the kidnapped Charles Moore was staying.

Survivor: China Episode 9

In Survivor: China episode 8, we saw yet another genius plan get flushed down the drain, as the group opted to kick out Jean-Robert instead of the highly dangerous James, doing so in a manner that allowed James to know he better watch his back.

Since he’s got two idols and a great shot at winning immunity, James isn’t particularly concerned, but he’s more likely to use those idols given the chance.

Courtney’s excited to have Jean-Robert gone. Hopefully now she can stop obsessing about him and start obsessing about someone else.

Not surprisingly, Denise is even more upset at her old tribe, as nobody decided to tell her that plans for the last tribal council. Any time someone’s intentionally left out of the loop like this, they become a big risk to flip.

Courtney’s getting closer and closer to Frosti, and she’s already proved her allegiance to her old tribe is not of a great deal of importance to her. They’re getting scared, and they should be. Courtney’s been a very emotional player thus far.

Reward challenge is a balancing act, where players will balance balls on drums. The reward is an overnight dinner cruise down a river. Peih-Gee and Erik are captains. Peih-Gee chooses James, who picks Todd, who picks Denise. Erik chooses Frosti, who picks Amanda, who picks Courtney. Erik’s group gets off to an early lead, scoring their first point before the other group even gets past the starting gate. Frosti and Erik are essentially a two man team and take a 2-0 lead, followed by a third point for the win.

Peih-Gee and James get into an argument over their group’s pitiful performance at the reward challenge. She realizes this probably isn’t the smartest way to stay in the game.

Todd says the four people he gets along best with are off on a boat. Interesting observation considering that group only consists of one of his close allies, Amanda. On the reward, all of the four get along really well, so it would make for an interesting alliance. However, Frosti’s not thinking that way. He’s afraid of Erik.

Completely unrelated to the game, Amanda seems to have made a rather unfortunate swimsuit choice. She’s got a blur covering her throughout much of the episode.

The immunity challenge is a memory game. They will have symbols in front of them that they must get in the correct order. It’s a temptation immunity. People can sit out and instead eat burgers, fries, and drinks. Courtney’s eating (good), as are Todd (who’s probably the safest of the bunch), James (I’d go for it if I were him, just to save the hidden ones, unless he really is feeling completely safe despite the three votes last time), and Denise (who knows she’s not safe with these people). Peih-Gee, Frosti, Erik, and the person taking the bullet for her team, Amanda, will participate in the challenge. Erik’s first out. Amanda is out in the next round. Peih-Gee wins immunity. Easy target’s off the options list. Now it’s time to scramble.

Erik and Frosti think they’re the targets tonight. Frosti’s obviously willing to sell Erik out to save himself. I’d think they would have the pull to be able to at least try to get something together on their own and take out someone else. Todd’s afraid of Erik being such a nice guy, but he’s also concerned that Frosti continues to be one of the top performers in both physical and mental challenges. Todd wants to try to convince Courtney to vote out Frosti. Nobody thinks she’ll do it, so he suggests maybe they should get rid of Courtney instead.

James is as comfortable as he let on and doesn’t use his hidden idol.

Votes:
Frosti
Erik
Frosti
Frosti
Frosti
Frosti

Frosti has been voted off the island. While I do think the plot to get rid of James should have been raised again, Frosti has proved to be one of the biggest threats there, so his boot does make sense. Do you think they made the right choice?

But it’s not over yet. They have more business to attend to at tribal council. Whatever that means, we’ll find out next time.

Bionic Woman Episode 7

In Bionic Woman Episode 6, Jaime and Tom pretended to be married, which rekindled the romance they were trying to pretend they didn’t have.

Jaime’s too busy flirting with Tom to notice the guy she’s after has shown up. He gets in his car and drives off, but it’s still not fast enough to get away from her. She runs, jumps in front of him, causes an accident, and grabs the case she was after.

Becca wants to cook for Tom, who Jaime insists is not her boyfriend.

Antonio is concerned about Jaime’s cell phone chatting with Tom and the exposure risk it created due to the messiness of her mission being accomplished.

They’re after a rifle that can see 3.5 miles, which was used in attempt to take out President Rudan, a ruthless oppressive dictator, who they want to protect because the evil they know is better than the one they don’t.

Jaime’s not enjoying or getting anything out of her therapy sessions with Ruth. Shocker.

Tom comes over for dinner. They should have gotten their stories straight beforehand, as they’re not answering anything the same. Then again, Becca already knows Jaime’s lying to her. During dinner, Jaime gets called and pulled away for work. Tom sticks around, though, which can’t be not awkward. He eventually offers to take them out for dinner at a restaurant next week, then he gets called away as well.

Jaime spots a sniper, who starts shooting but doesn’t connect with his target. Antonio wants to get the president out of the country, but he refuses to cooperate. Tom shows up and questions why Jaime’s there without any protection or a gun. He and Antonio continue the little tiff they have with each other.

Ruth gets a plant for her office. Apparently that’s supposed to make Jaime comfortable being psychoanalyzed.

Becca really likes Tom, who’s a lot better than the losers Jaime normally dates.

Antonio goes on a mission by himself and tells Nathan to just let Jaime sleep. So of course Nathan calls Jaime and tells her to get down there. As she’s leaving, she finds two people spying on her, who tell her she’s going to have to ask Tom if she wants to know why. When she arrives on the scene, she finds out Antonio’s been communicating with the assassin. Not sure what to do, she goes to Jonas.

Tom’s excuse for having Jaime followed is that he officially told the CIA she’s his girlfriend, which requires an investigation.

In dealing with the Antonio’s desire to assist the shooter, Jonas feeds him false information. This doesn’t go over as well as they’d hoped, and Antonio pulls a gun on Jaime when they get to the race track. He says he’s not working with the assassin, but he does know her. He’s trying to talk her out of it, but he can’t take her down because she’s saved his life more than once. The problem now is that they’ve been fed false information and don’t know where the president actually will be.

Jaime hears a gun and jumps up on the building where it is. She can’t stop the shot but does prevent it from actually hitting anyone. The shooter wants revenge for all the wrong the president’s done. She pulls a gun on Jaime for getting in her way. Jaime tells Antonio to take the shot, but he resists. When a shot’s fired at Jaime, though, he takes the bullet himself, then does end up taking the shot after that. She’s the one who broke his heart, which Jaime’s been prying about to try to figure out why he is the way he is.

Antonio later dies in the ambulance, which leads Jaime to believe she’s not cut out for this.
